CUCULLIA. By Dr. M. Draudt. 
Forewing whitish-grey mixed with black; the black basal ray is almost continnons to the anal angle-; between 
the two strongly dentate transverse lines a black inner-marginal streak, in the marginal area black internerval 
sagittae. Hindwing blackish-brown with white fringes. From Alaska (Ketchikan), taken in April. 
slrigaici . C. strigata Sm. (25 e). Forewing purple-grey, dusted with blackish-brown, with indistinct, inter¬ 
ruptedly dentate transverse stripes and very small indistinct maculae, the oblong ring-macula connected by 
streaks with the anterior transverse line, behind the reniform macula a small black luna; marginal area striped 
black. Hindwing blackish-brown, on the veins and margin darker; mesothorax black, shoulder-covers bordered 
with black. Canada, United States. 
serraUcor- C. serraficornis Lintn. (25 f) is somewhat lighter, more distinctly marked, the anterior transverse 
ms. p ne doubly a distinct black streak on a whitish stripe-shaped spot extends to the anal angle. Hindwing lighter, 
almost white, on the veins and margins brownish; mesothorax brown, shoulder-covers edged with brown. 
California. 
matricaria. C. matricaria Streck., described according to a manuscript by Behr, in its exterior entirely resembles 
serraticornis (25 f) and may be a synonym of it. It only differs by somewhat more distinct anterior and posterior 
transverse lines. California. The type is in the Field Museum Chicago. 
brucei. C. brucei Sm. (25 c). Forewing purple grey, dusted and strewn with dark brown, with a black basal 
ray, dentate transverse lines, the posterior line only distinct in the proximal-marginal area and with black 
marginal streaks; the small maculae are very faintly marked. Hindwing light brownish grey. Colorado. 
solidaginis. C. solidaginis Belli • (25 e) as well as the following has somewhat less strongly serrate antennae. 
Forewing purple grey, dusted with brown, with black veins and basal ray; anterior transverse line strongly 
dentate, the posterior line only distinct at the proximal margin; instead of the maculae 2 black longitudinal 
streaks in the cell-end, similar ones in the marginal area. Hindwing brown with white fringes. Canada to 
California. 
albicinerea. C. albicinerea Sm. (25 e) is of a purer bluish-grey than the similar preceding species; the marking 
is almost the same, the fringes of the forewing are somewhat more distinctly speckled, the hindwing somewhat 
lighter. Canada, Colorado. 
Sect. IV. £ antennae plain ( Cucullia Schrk.). 
albido. C. albida Sm. (25 f) in the marking resembles the two last species, but it is smaller and has an 
almost white ground-colour with a slight yellowish tinge; the transverse lines are quite extinct, only the basal 
and marginal rays are more distinct. Hindwing light greyish-brown with darker veins. From Colorado. 
eueaena, C. eucaetia Dyar (25 e) is a very dark species, blackish-grey, in the costal area, in and behind the 
cell and subanally tinted red-brown; the round maculae are yellowish without distinct border-lines, only below 
the reniform macula a black bow, pupilled with black and brown dots; only the sharply dentate anterior transverse 
line is more distinct; the tooth on the submedian fold is closed. The veins of the marginal area are finely striped 
black, the lower median vein thicker; a whitish undulate line is only distinct in the proximal-marginal third. 
Hindwing light, veins and marginal area blackened. Fringes white. Mexico (City). 
syggnomon. C. syggnomon Dyar (25 d) is somewhat like the preceeding, larger, dark purple grey, at the costal 
margin with oblique whitish patches, in and behind the cell-end, subanally and at the base of the proximal 
margin tinted red-brown; the large maculae like in eueaena , but their bordering like in dentilinea marked by 
black dots; the tooth of the anterior transverse line is widely open on the submedian fold; the distal transverse 
line is marked by whitish. Hindwing brown, on the veins and margin broadly blackish, the fringes at the base 
brown and only distally white. Expanse of wings: 53 mm. Mexico (Orizaba). 
dentilinea. C. dentilinea Sm. (25 g). Forewing greyish-white, densely dusted blackish-brown, with black veins 
and basal ray; the anterior strongly dentate transverse line is double like the posterior line in the proximal- 
marginal part-; the bordering of the maculae is marked above by black dots, below by short streaks; in the 
marginal area black internerval streaks and subanally a thick patch parted by whitish. Hindwing whitish, 
on the veins and marginal area dusted with brownish. From Colorado and Arizona. — In Mexico flies a form 
mexicana. with maculae exhibiting an intense ferruginous yellow tinge: mexicana form, nov., but there also occur specimens 
without or almost without any yellow. 
em ungens. C. emungens sp. n. (25 f) is very similar to the preceding species, of a purer bluish grey, with 
somewhat finer markings and without the yellow filling of the maculae; particularly the anal streak, which 
is not parted by whitish, is much finer and also longer, more linear and not so spotted. The spec es is at once 
discernible by quite dark brown hindwings with white fringes. From Mexico (City and Zacualpan). 
dorsalis. C. dorsalis Sm. (25 g) is on the whitish-grey forewing dusted with blackish-brown and on the veins 
finely striped black, a basal ray and the very pointedly dentate transverse lines are very fine black; no maculae 
except an arcuate streak below' the reniform macula. Hindwing whitish, on the veins and margin brownish. 
Colorado to Mexico. 
eceissiea. C. eccissica Dyar (25 g) is very similar to dorsalis, on an average smaller, of a purer and clearer 
bluish grey, with still finer markings which are for the greatest part quite extinct; a fine black basal ray extends
